Welcome to my website ….

I am honoured to represent the federal electorate of Corangamite as your strong, local voice. Each and every day, I am fighting for jobs, families and infrastructure. I also recognise how important it is to listen, and govern with compassion. A recent example is our announcement that we will consult extensively on any new Medicare reforms.

Our local achievements include ….

works underway to upgrade the Great Ocean Road and duplicate the Princes Highway from Geelong to Colac, so important for jobs, road safety and our regional economy. The first duplicated section of the Princes Highway has been opened just west of Geelong;

delivery of the NBN to more than half of the Corangamite electorate. Some 34,000 premises have been included in the first 18 month rollout across Colac Otway, Surf Coast, Queenscliff and Golden Plains regions. NBN fixed wireless is either connected or is being planned for another 5000 premises;

the NDIS Barwon trial, with planning for a full rollout of the NDIS underway at the new Geelong headquarters of the National Disability Insurance Agency;

new free trade agreements with Korea, Japan and China which will drive enormous opportunities for the services sector and agriculture, particularly dairy;

major reforms for small business, the backbone of our local economy, including the abolition of the carbon tax and a major review of competition policy to ensure fairer prices for consumers and small business operators including, I hope, at the petrol bowser in Colac and in our supermarkets;
